Look, cunts, you are the ones who closed it in the first place with an illegal war your own legislators have not agreed to So, and I say this with with zero respect, fuck right off www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

Mike Hosking just called Chris Hipkins "a pillock, a pratt and a prick” but apparently that's fine Media standards is what National truly care about

I would strongly put forth that the reason Trump NOW wants taxpayers to fund his WH ballroom is because he wants to pocket whatever private funds have been "donated" to pay for same. He's a criminal, grifting piece of shit. It's ALWAYS about the grift.

Unbelievable. The Luxon government has now granted a prospecting permit within Te Wāhipounamu, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Shane Jones tells media last night that NZ is "riddled with conservation land" as National progress plans to sell/exchange 2/3 i.e. 5 million hectares of it Simon Upton says he's never heard of anyone ever saying NZ "over protects" its ecosystems before. Anti-climate is a shared NACT1 goal #nzpol

Three more years of this coalition means a much closer relationship with the US. It means allowing a focus on military and minerals. It means expanding the remit of the FBI office in Wellington. It means a strengthened far right ethos, and people in positions of power who will implement that policy.

You know you’re making the Billionaire Class nervous when large, corporate law firms are writing “don’t panic, here’s how to handle the May Day walkouts” guides. Keep the momentum going. May 1st. Workers Over Billionaires. Join us at maydaystrong.org

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

A system that consistently protects perpetrators and undermines survivors is a biased, corrupt system. How many headlines do we see where a judge is protecting a perpetrator’s good name, their career? How many actions are framed as a judgement error? Help change an unacceptable status quo👇 #nzpol

Shane Jones is spouting some of the most vile racism I have heard in #nzpol and it's barely being reported on. Left bloc MPs have lost careers for far less. NZ media has this strange presumption of evil that ultimately empowers our worst politicians.

#nzpol THE USA ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS ANYMORE. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Oriini 🔥 "The only headline that should be blowing up feeds right now is the fact the New Zealand Govt is set to dismantle Te Tiriti. Now. Tūrakarerewa mai, e tai mā." @oriini_kaipara @tepaatimaori.bsky.social

"It’s closed out. It's finished. We voted it down yesterday, and it's over, and we're moving forward." - Luxon “Cremated and buried”. - Potaka They lied. Despite over 90% of submitters opposed and massive divisions caused. National Govt continues to roll it out. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Pretty sure Paul Goldsmith is a member of the Heritage Foundation and has been for many years. His actions don’t prove me wrong. What do we need to do to enshrine #TeTiriti, protecting it from politicians like Goldsmith & his ilk? #nzpol

I loathe these articles, which always come with hidden privilege - an electric car, the ability to renovate. Same vibes as “we bought a home” (because we have generational wealth from our parents). Media - the wealth distribution crisis isn’t about buying oats in bulk. Talk about taxing the rich.

Me after hearing about the 62 million men who visited an online rape academy in February

@robdickinson.bsky.social put down a deposit on my first EV today!

This is what "interoperability" with the US gets us: doing America's dirty work and pissing off our not-enemies. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

@drewmorgcomedy.bsky.social @coreyrforrester.bsky.social Hey y'all. Adeem the Artist just put out a banger new album and has been crashing out recently on mental health stuff. Go throw them some support if y'all can. Love ya, skeww. adeemtheartist.bandcamp.com/album/notes-...

@chevyray.dev I have no idea what the heck happened. Weird bots indeed, friend :[

Any company thinking of using Facial Recognition Technology to like Bunnings NZ needs to develop policies to be sure they don't act against wrongly identified people. Since 2019 at least 14 people wrongfully arrested by #USpolice cos of reliance on errors in #FRT #NZpol www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

Trumpianism isn't over there, it's over here

This was Seymour’s aim all along. The privatisation will follow.

Another year, same reality that our rivers, lakes, and groundwater will continue to be polluted because of the Luxon Government prioritising private profits at any cost ☠️☠️ We need action, and when it's so clear Luxon's Government can't deliver on that, we need a new Green-led Government ✊️💧

'The judges concluded that given the trainer’s age he “should not have his future life so profoundly adversely affected,” and discharged him without conviction on all three indecent assault charges.' But it's fine that the young woman's life and career prospects in the same industry are extinguished

It's brilliant news that the French government is moving to Linux and Open Source. As an open source advocate and user for over 20 years, this makes me happy. The move will be hard though. Legacy software, Microsoft bribes and techies with little OSS experience will all be barriers to change.

Sex traffickers & rapists Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are in attendance for #UFC327 in Miami @erichterrr

Big and important study on the devastating impact of bottom trawling. This abhorrent practice should be banned everywhere. The fishing industry is out of control 🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/world-f...

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

David Bowie was a vocal visionary, POC advocate, bisexual, outspoken musician, & artistic genius. This man is a tasteless narcissistic nazi… They could not be less alike.

Saw @danielsloss.bsky.social last night. Absolutely brought the house down. Hilarious, introspective, occasionally self-destructive, and with a penchant for success that rewards him and repulses him in equal measure. Go see him if you haven't already!

More corrupt pork from Winston

NHK World confirms Japan has perfected a process to extract high purity lithium from dead batteries with a 90 percent recovery rate. Great

Quiet privatisation of a whole service.

Winston Peters reaffirms our commitment to kowtowing to war criminals! I chat more about this over at my Substack: yeehawtheboys.substack.com/p/winston-pe...

"Why don't Americans—" we do. That's why many of my friends are in prison or dead.

In what way is this a dilemma? The world agreed 80 years ago that the Nuremberg Defence is not a defence. Don't commit war crimes.

Trump called the crew of the Artemis II, and the phone call didn't go quite so well for him. It seems that no one on the crew wanted to talk to him — at all. I wonder why 🤷🏽‍♂️

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

if you're confused at why people are thirsty for the destruction of data centers, you've got to understand that basically all everyone has heard of data centers for the last five years is horror stories about tech companies poisoning communities so they can make slop that is objectively useless.

yep, Nestlé had their sales reps *dress up as nurses* and give out free formula *in maternity wards* to make families dependent on it, in countries where many didn't have access to clean water for mixing with formula. researchers estimate that 10.9 million babies died.

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

South Korea will sit on that proposed oil shipment and will remind the NZ government that they broke the Korean based Hyundai companies contract for the iRex ferries. #nzpol

National cutting public health while diverting money to private health providers like Cecilia Robinson's Tend and private hospitals that Shane Reti owns is pretty darn stupid

mods are asleep, post bean hole

I'm sorry do we not have a whole lot of other shit to focus on rather than the legal definition of a woman/man??? Fuck right off with that absolute fucking transphobic bullshit.
